"My performances are about me, they’re just a surreal diary form... I’m literally just thinking and putting it down and it comes out in this way. So the choreography and the music and the cultural detritus are all just pulled from the time that I’m working on the piece so they’re a pretty accurate, yet abstract representation of me." - Jake Dibeler

GOODBYE (Billy) will be Jake Dibeler's second performance with American Medium. Dibeler's performances are hilarious and upsetting. Splintered pop songs and spoken word are woven into choreographed movement and improvised actions.

Nudity, blood, object play and pop culture appropriation combine to describe Dibeler's place in society. Dibeler performs his lust, fear, regret, depression and joy and has the power to draw it out of his audience. It is clear that Dibeler is not presenting a character or performing a script. We are witness to a never-before-seen version of the artist's current physical and emotional state.
